Both in terms of strength and flexibility, these spider silk threads are of much better quality than those previously sourced elsewhere.
"Regarding the pricing... Bai Ye, what's your target price?"
The fairy-like older sister raised her head and looked at Bai Ye directly opposite her with her beautiful eyes full of affection.
All the clothes in her clothing store are designed in-house and then hand-sewn.
As for the raw materials, in order to meet the needs of those female trainers, the materials they use to sew their clothes are never synthetic, but are all taken from Pokémon—the fine wool shed from Wooloo and Mareep, and the spider silk collected from the spit-out of some Bug-type Pokémon.
Therefore, Ma Xiu was undoubtedly tempted by the collaboration proposed by Bai Ye and the high-quality spider silk threads she displayed.
"Hmm, is 900 Alliance Coins per 100 meters acceptable?"
After careful consideration, Bai Ye made his offer.
The market price of spider silk spit out by Pokémon is generally between 200 and 400 League Coins. Uncle Yoshino previously quoted 800 League Coins. Now, a slight increase would not be too expensive and would meet Bai Ye's expectations, since he was very confident in the quality of the spider silk enhanced by the system's attributes.
Upon hearing this price, Ma Xiu simply raised her long, colorful butterfly sleeves to partially cover her face, smiling radiantly.
"That's way too low. Let's set it at 1200 Alliance Coins per 100 meters."
"This"
Bai Ye was momentarily stunned.
It's more than three times the normal price; apparently, he was too conservative after all.
The farm raises a total of sixteen orb-weaver spiders. When the weather conditions are suitable, each spider can spin fifty meters of silk every day. Even if the temperature and humidity are not suitable for nearly half of the month, the farm still guarantees an income of more than 100,000.
Of course, this doesn't even take into account the high cost of raising them. After all, those little guys are much more delicate than the Miltank Pokémon on the grassland. In addition to basic foods like leaves, they need highly nutritious Pokémon food to support them in producing such high-quality spider silk every day.
"Also, could I trouble you with something, Bai Ye?"
While Bai Ye was still dreaming of making money hand over fist, Ma Xiu stood up and bowed slightly. Her black silk hands were hidden under her gorgeous butterfly sleeves, and her pale purple eyes, which were looking at Bai Ye, suddenly became shimmering with a different kind of watery light.
"I want to... witness your magnificent fighting style."
Chapter 198 So, please give me your guidance.
With Xiaosong from Xuefeng Dojo in the past and Maxiu from Xiangxun Dojo in the future, will he eventually achieve a grand slam by not participating in dojo tournaments but being challenged by every dojo master?
Upon hearing Ma Xiu's declaration of challenge, Bai Ye couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind.
As for whether he would agree or not, he was certainly not afraid of the lizard. Taking every challenge seriously is a basic quality of every Pokémon trainer. He also wanted to take this opportunity to try out his newly acquired Mega Evolution and see how it performed in actual battle.
However, Bai Ye glanced around and asked in confusion.
"I have no problem with that, but this cafe probably doesn't have a place where I can fight, right?"
"You answered incorrectly~"
As soon as the fairy queen finished speaking in her extremely charming voice, under the slightly surprised gazes of Bai Ye and Gardevoir, they saw the wall in front of them, painted in a bright pastel color, suddenly move to both sides and open completely with a rumble.
"I never expected there to be such a hidden world inside!" *Swoosh*
Looking at the battlefield fully exposed before him, illuminated by pale pink lights, Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh softly.
At this moment, Ma Xiu gracefully clasped her hands together on her lower abdomen, and the long sleeves of her dress, which resembled butterflies, fluttered down. She lowered her eyes, smiled slightly, and bent her knees slightly to bow to Bai Ye.
"Then, please give me your guidance."
The stands were already packed with female trainers who had come after hearing the news.
Upon hearing that a Pokémon battle was about to take place, the young women, mature women, and ladies who were leisurely enjoying their afternoon tea party in the cafe put down their cups and rushed over as if they were chasing after celebrities.
"Miss Ma Xiu, Miss Ma Xiu, Miss Ma Xiu!!!"
On the rectangular battlefield, the moment the alluring and seductive older sister, dressed in a dazzling gown like a butterfly, appeared, the audience erupted in a deafening roar of screams for "Lady Ma Xiu".
The owner of this café is a famous fashion designer, the gym leader of the Carlos region's aromatherapy gym, and also possesses an ethereal, captivating beauty. The combination of these four qualities is enough to ignite wave after wave of even more fervent cheers.
"That...that is..."
The screams, like silver bells ripping through silk, had barely subsided when many of the girls sitting in the front row widened their eyes, their attention suddenly drawn to Bai Ye walking from the other side. The previously unified chants suddenly broke off.
"Wow~ So cool—"
A round-faced girl with round-framed glasses and a bob haircut clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her eyes filled with pink hearts.
This kind of infatuation wasn't an isolated case; rather, the moment Bai Ye appeared, it was like a pebble thrown into the center of a lake, with screams of "Wow!" and "Oh my god!" replacing the initial cheers for Ma Xiu's appearance.
"Looks like you're really popular, Bai Ye~"
Noticing the unusual atmosphere coming from the audience, Ma Xiu covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
The original purpose of establishing the "Fairy Whisper" café was twofold: firstly, to serve as a rest stop for her when she occasionally came to the Sinnoh region from Kalos, and secondly, to build a communication platform for female trainers in the area who liked Fairy-type Pokémon. In addition to tea parties, Pokémon battles would occasionally take place in the hidden battle arena.
Surprisingly, despite having such a home-field advantage, most of her female fans still chose to betray her the moment they saw Bai Ye.
Looking at the white night before her, Ma Xiu's beautiful purple eyes were filled with tender spring feelings.
"Um"
Faced with this scene, Bai Ye could only shake his head helplessly.
For some unknown reason, the more stats he accumulated, the stronger his succubus physique became, and the number of infatuated women he attracted also increased accordingly. If it weren't for Ma Xiu, the manager, keeping him in check, the group of infatuated female trainers in the stands might have rushed over and surrounded him.
"Now we will have a match between the Aroma City Gym Leader, Marsh, and the challenger, White Night. The rules are 2v2. The match ends when all of either side's Pokémon are unable to battle."
Standing in the middle of the field, Mami and Shione, who considered themselves the referees for this match, raised their hands and shouted.
"Shh~"
"Understood, let's try out our new power."
Sensing the eagerness of Gardevoir before him, Bai Ye's eyes sharpened, and without hesitation, he raised the Key Stone in his hand, letting a dazzling seven-colored light burst forth from it.
When faced with a challenge from a dojo master, one must naturally give it one's all.
Let's use our newly acquired Mega Evolution for this battle!
"Gardevoir, Mega Evolve!"
"sand!!!"
On the vast battlefield, a dazzling light, like a rainbow, suddenly burst forth.
The moment their minds connected, the clear, high-pitched chant from the Superpowered Queen completely overlapped with the young man's voice.
"Is this Mega Evolution?"
Mami and Shione, who were acting as referees, were stunned for a moment and exclaimed in surprise.
As people from the Kalos region, they had naturally heard of this method of evolution, but they never expected to see it in the Sinnoh region as well.
On the other side, gasps of surprise erupted from the audience the instant Mega Gardevoir appeared in the hazy pink mist.
"Ah, what is that?!"
"Gardevoir seems to look different now, what's going on?"
"It feels so elegant and luxurious!"
"Mega evolution surpasses the current limits of Pokémon evolution, representing a higher level of evolution, also known as transcendent evolution."
Ma Xiu gazed at the slender, beautiful figure before her, who resembled a superheroine, and murmured to herself.
There are many ways for Pokémon to evolve, including the most common level evolution, evolution using items such as Fire Stones, and evolution by learning specific moves.
In recent years, Dr. Blatano of the Kalos region first discovered a brand-new evolution, namely Mega Evolution. Pokémon that have undergone Mega Evolution will temporarily develop the hidden power within their bodies, and both their appearance and strength will be improved to varying degrees.
Currently, only a dozen or so Pokémon are known to be capable of Mega Evolution. To achieve Mega Evolution, in addition to having the corresponding Mega Stone and Key Stone, the Pokémon's strength and the trainer's physical attributes must be sufficiently high, and there must be a deep bond between them.
"I didn't expect that you, Bai Ye, also possessed this power."
Faced with the black-haired youth who resembled a god, Ma Xiu was momentarily stunned.
The last time she witnessed such a breathtaking sight was during an exhibition match with another Pokémon Trainer.
And that trainer was none other than the current Carlos Champion, Karenina.
After a brief moment of distraction, the fairy-like older sister also sent out her first Pokémon.
"Aromatic Essence, use the Trick Space."
【Trick Room: Creates a bizarre space where slower Pokémon can act first for a limited time】
Chapter 199 Is this a lie?! (3400 words)
The moment the command was given by Er Yin III Qi Jiu Liu Shan E E Yue + Yi Ma Xiu, the entire square battlefield suddenly rippled with energy like water.
The ground cracked open like vines sprouting new shoots, from which countless light blue and white rhomboid lattices emerged—these lattices built four ever-rising walls of light along the edge of the site, eventually sealing off the top.
"It's here, it's the magic space!"
"To use this tactic means..."
A gasp rippled through the audience, and screams as clear as silver bells rang out, echoing throughout the arena.
Asami and Shione, who were acting as referees, also clenched their fists unconsciously, their faces filled with excitement.
Lady Ma Xiu suddenly became serious!!!

"A magic space!"
Bai Ye looked at the energy shield that completely enveloped the entire battlefield and murmured.
In the bizarre space created by Trick Room, the speeds of both Pokémon will be reversed, and the slower the Pokémon, the more likely it is to strike first. This is the core of the Trick Room team strategy in the previous game.
To be honest, Ma Xiu truly deserves to be the head of the aromatherapy academy.
When faced with a high-level Gardevoir that would be faster than her Pokémon after Mega Evolution, she instantly came up with a tactic to seize the initiative and take the lead in speed.
"Shh~"
At this moment, Gardevoir, who had just unleashed its full power, frowned slightly and sensed an invisible pressure of energy enveloping its entire body.
Both the speed at which her moves were concentrated and the speed at which she moved were greatly reduced.
Under the rules set by the Creator God, this move [Trick Space] is practically an unsolvable, open scheme!
"The battle begins!"
"Aroma Essence, use magic to shimmer."
As soon as the two referees finished speaking, the fairy-like older sister in a gorgeous dress waved her sleeves and gave the order.
"babble--"
Suddenly, the battlefield illuminated by the lights was filled with a sweet, honey-like fragrance. The fragrant spirit hovering in mid-air had purple eyes, and countless starlight points burst out from its body like fireflies.
It wasn't a gentle, soft halo, but rather a sharp, razor-sharp light that caused scorching ripples in the air wherever it passed.
"Gardevoir, use your psychic powers to block it."
With Bai Ye's calm and unhurried command, Gardevoir, as tall and aloof as a psychic queen, simply raised her hand and her overflowing psychic power gathered into a shield, completely blocking the surging light.
"Fragrance essence, continuously use the power of the moon to make two seals of Maiki C leave three eels."
Seeing this, Ma Xiu did not hesitate to continue her fierce attack.
The [Trick Space] cannot exist permanently; it can only last for a short five minutes.
For many trainers, when faced with this Trick Room tactic, the usual approach is to stall, doing everything possible to drag out the Trick Room until time runs out.
Although Ma Xiu was unsure how Bai Ye planned to respond, as the beneficiary, she had to seize this precious opportunity to launch an offensive as much as possible.
"Block it."
The continuous barrage of [Moon Power] seemed to have achieved nothing of the effect that Ma Xiu had envisioned, except for creating a cloud of dust and mist on the field caused by the explosions.
The noble and aloof Mega Gardevoir remained standing in place, its pinkish-purple psychic shield effortlessly blocking the terrifying wave of attacks, like an impenetrable fortress.
"Yes, I understand roughly."
Half-hidden in the surrounding dust and smoke of the explosion, Bai Ye nodded secretly.
He wasn't trying to stall for time; he simply wanted to use this opportunity to test the practical effects of Mega Evolution.
Compared to its original form, Mega Gardevoir's moves are significantly more powerful and it has much better control over its psychic abilities.
Even if it can only passively deal with attacks from Gym Leader's main Pokémon, it can still easily neutralize them.
On the other hand, as the battles continued, Byakuya found that he could gradually adapt to the rhythm of stamina consumption in battle. Now, it was no longer a problem to Mega Evolve multiple Pokémon in battle at the same time!
Having obtained the test results he wanted, Bai Ye issued the attack order.
